Life Is War Poem by Jenna Dandurand

Life is war.
You have to fight to survive.
When the gun fires,
Or when the sword strikes,
The one thing to do is hope.
Will you hope to live?
Someone just lost their war.
Will you lose yours?
When you are injured will you just give up?
The pain hurts.
It's fire-
It's ice.
There's a doctor up the hill.
He'll help you patch it up.
You'll give it time to mend,
To heal.
Will you stop fighting?
Back on the battlefield,
You pick up your gun.
You shoot at the enemy.
Have they given up?
They're still fighting-
They always will.
They are everywhere.
They are the reason people lose.
Look up ahead.
It's an easy break.
There's refuge
And safety.
It's for you and the others.
The soldiers
Who didn't quit.
